Very Limited. While it lasts.
VINEYARDS
Coming from a small percentage of nearly all of our Sonoma Coast vineyards including Martin Ray Estate, Ricioli Vineyard, Dutton Ranch. Each picked at its ideal ripeness to maximize the flavors of our Pinot Noir, the subsequent Rosé also takes on the complex bouquet and palate.
VINTAGE NOTES
Shifts in temperature throughout the season resulted in shorter hangtime and lower yields, but the fruit retained bright acidity, resulting in lively wines. While quantity may be a bit lessened this vintage, the quality is excellent!

Deep, chewy tannins and savory tertiary notes, with a rich midpalate. Fresh, wild blue and black fruit with ripe Bing cherry, and subtle elderflower. Rustic touches of olive tapenade, with layers of boysenberry...
94 Points
Rich opaque ruby in the glass, with matching aromas of crème de cassis, fresh espresso, vanilla bean, and ripe blackberry. The palate offers flavors of blackberry, raspberry, black cherry, and cocoa powder, clove, nutmeg, and has a soft yet firm structure that beg for grilled meats.

Tropical/citrus notes, and maintains the PERFECT acidity and freshness. Light straw hues in the glass with aromas of toasted brioche, baking spices, and candied lemon rind.

From the heart of the Napa Valley, well known as a premier climate for growing world class Zinfandel. Warm sunny days lead to well ripened grapes and this Zin's jammy side.
Bursting with aromas of cherry, spice, hints of cranberry and tobacco. Flavors of cherry pie, pomegranate and cola with a soft elegant mouthfeel. Amazingly easy-drinking...
Dark, Juicy & Bold...
Deep red with a rich translucent core. Viscous legs adhere high up on the glass, while ruby color bands glide down amid a swirl. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, red currant, spice, and elegantly toasted oak. The palate offers more bold fruit, eventually mellowing as soft tannins take hold.
A true representation of cool climate, high-elevation Chardonnay, this wine offers ripe fruit with incredible concentration, framed by intense acidity and minerality with ripe Bosc pear, lemon mousse, grilled pineapple, baking spices, sweet grass, a hint of quince and Tahitian vanilla.
